He thought there was a beer out there for everyone. She thought he was nuts. This week, the project comes to an end.

Norman Miller and Nicole Simmons have worked together at GateHouse Media / Wicked Local for almost 20 years. He tried to prove to her there's a beer out there for everyone, despite the fact she hates beer. He tried 10 years ago to prove his theory - and failed. Guess what? It didn't really work this time, either.

This week, Norman announced he will no longer be the Beer Nut. In an effort to lose weight, he's going to stop drinking beer, since the amount he feels he needs to drink each week to keep on top of the craft beer scene has him consuming way too many calories.

With the end of Norm's reign as Beer Nut, so too will end his weekly column, blog and this podcast.

On this last podcast episode, he and Nicole talk about why he made this major life change; what plans he has to lead a healthier lifestyle; Norm's fear of missing out on big beer news; how Norm has been bored the past couple of weekends not drinking beer; the alternative Nuts he can be (Pickle Nut, CocoNut, etc.); a beer made using yeast trapped in a brewer's beard; the overwhelming positive response Norm has received since announcing his news; and the possibility of Norm and Nicole starting a new project such as the Onion for Everyone Project (uh, no, not really).

It's been 34 episodes of beer - some better than others - laughs and friendly ribbing. We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we did creating The Beer for Everyone Project podcast.

CHEERS!
